When upgrading to the latest UE4 version, the local swarm agent gets all of its network settings reset.
Hey electricsauce -
Each new version of the Engine comes with a new version of the Swarm Agent with default settings in place. This is expected behavior.
Thank You

the version of the swarm is the same all the time unfortunately
To save you settings between engine versions you can create a copy of the XML settings files, they can be found here:
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_\Engine\Binaries\DotNET
First launch SwarmAgent or SwarmCoordinator and make sure the settings are all correct, if not make the necessary changes.
The log files for SwarmAgent the filenames are SwarmAgent.exe.config and if you modified the developer settings there will also be SwarmAgent.DeveloperOptions.xml
For SwarmCoordinator there will be a file named SwarmCoordinator.exe.config
Make a copy of them once you have your settings set, then paste them into that folder in the next engine release you download.
Hope that helps!
